In the Philippines, the coconut tree is called "the tree of life." It is no wonder that its fruit bears an oil that helps give life to the skin. The more I learn about the nutritional content of organic virgin coconut, the more excited I get for all of our customers to use our newly formulated moisturizers containing this amazing oil.

Here are just some of the beneficial properties of organic, virgin coconut oil:

anti-bacterial anti-fungal (there are several studies that have shown pure virgin coconut oil has cleared acne caused by a build-up of fungi) added sun protection free radical protection (antioxidants) protects product from going rancid medium chain fatty acids helps give living cells firmness and integrity penetrates quickly and completely into the skin

Professional publications throughout the health and beauty industries have been raving over the many nutritional benefits of virgin coconut. An article in Skin Inc's August, 2006 issue explains the use and overwhelming success of using coconut in SPA treatments. The article goes on to say coconut’s rich vitamin and mineral content makes it great for healing and repairing the skin.
